Hwa String Quartet
St James's Church Piccadilly, W1J 9LL , [Venue Details]Born from the friendship of four musicians from Singapore, Korea, China and Taiwan, the Hwa String Quartet celebrates the harmony of diversity through music.
Programme
Rebecca Clarke: Poem for String Quartet
Caroline Shaw: Punctum
Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen: Shine You No More
Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel: String Quartet in E-flat Major
Movements I, III & IV
Jin Cho: Yearning You Ye
This programme centres on the work of female composers, celebrating their voices across different eras and musical languages — from early twentieth-century lyricism to the sound world of today. At the heart of the programme sits a folk-inspired piece, offering a moment of lightness and contrast. Its playful, earthy character brings a change of texture, opening up the sound palette before the music returns to more introspective and expressive writing.
Artist Bio
Born from the friendship of four musicians from Singapore, Korea, China and Taiwan, the Hwa String Quartet celebrates the harmony of diversity through music. The word “Hwa” (花) means “flower” across many Asian cultures – a symbol of beauty, growth, and connection. Just as flowers transcend borders, we aspire for our music to bring beauty, unity, and understanding to all who listen.
